MARC Pingris and June Mar Fajardo relive their video game rivalry for yet another worthy cause.
The two bosom buddy will again host a DOTA charity match which aims to raise P1 million for the benefit of the Philippine General Hospital medical foundation.
The event is set May 13 and comes as a fitting follow-up to their first video game charity match entitled 'Lockdown Games,' held last month.
Fajardo teamed up with NLEX guard Kiefer Ravena during the April 6 showdown and beat the team of Pingris and Japeth Aguilar, 70-30, in a match that lasted for 44 minutes.
Both Fajardo and Pingris had professional gamers for teammates in the 5-on-5 encounter.

Part 2 of the event, according to Pingris, will be made a best-of-three series.
"Oo, para manalo naman kayo," said Fajardo in taunting Pingris about the loss.
"Oo nga talo kami, tambak kami," admitted the Magnolia veteran forward.
Pingris said they're doing a repeat of the worthy cause as the group only managed to produce a total of P900,000 during its first run.
"Kulang pa kaya may gagawin pa kaming event ngayon," added Pingris.

Both Fajardo and Pingris are playing DOTA together to while away their time as the PBA is currently on an indefinite break with the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
"Nami-miss kong kalaro si Ping (sa court)," said Fajardo, the league's only six-time MVP. "Kaya dota lang muna (kay Ping).
Playing video games also help Fajardo to just rest and relax as he recovers from an off-season surgery after suffering a fractured right tibia in practice.
"Kuwarto lang ako lagi, walang labas kasi bawal," he said. "So chill lang muna." (RG)
